Texas whitewater - Devils River, Val Verde County Val Verde county, SH 163 to Rough Canyon Marina section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II+(IV)     47 miles   The Devils River flows through private property on both sides. If you step out of the river and are caught you will be charged for trespassing. The precedent has been set in the courts. You must camp within the confines of the river banks. Says landowner Thank you landowner, we know that.  We also know where State of Texas property ends, and your private property begins.  Apparently most of you landowners do not.  Bear this in mind: we do not strive or intend to break the law.  If we leave the area that is 1/2 way between the 1st and 2nd cut bank (Texas     law--look it up) there is a darn good reason for it.  What, do you think we are going to load up one of your cattle, and paddle away with it?  As far as leaving stuff behind, I will bet that we leave an area cleaner than when we found it (at least I do).  I'l bet the 'crap' you pick up has been washed down stream.  Why are you intent on (to the point of opening fire on paddlers, this is well known) no one paddling the river?  I hope you check this page, and respond. Says Paddler The SH 163 to Rough Canyon Marina stretch of Devils River in Texas is 47 miles long and is a class II+(IV) section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The nature scenery of Texas and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Now this is a pretty long section, perfect for a real   wilderness adventure. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are not so many other good spots for that around here. The average Texas whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be easier to run than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are suitable for beginners. If you're coming from Del Rio it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost.
